When worlds collide

A 9:30 excursion today to a national park about 80km away. At the park, waterfalls were rumoured to be waiting. I love a good waterfall. It was really nice to not have an old town to go to. I always forget. We are in Zadar, Croatia.
It was good to get out into nature. Not too much hard walking around the 2km board walk and lots of good pics.
One ice cream (the Mediterranean croissant), one lost drink bottle and back on the bus.
We had a quick stop in a town on the way back. 
Oh, change room guy was on our tour. I really wanted to ask him, why?
Just before departure, the guy in front of us gets off the bus and is then talking to our guide. As we travelled, she comes up to talk to him.
Long story short, his wife was on a different tour, got separated from them, called him and it seems they left without her. They did eventually find her but our ship departure was delayed one and a half hours due to the search. The Captain said he would put the throttle down and he did. 
Just a short run today.
Tonight is bbq night on deck, which I had been looking forward to. I have also been craving sweet and sour anything, but the menu seems to be tipped mostly to the Indian side to please the Poms on board.
Tonight the dining room had sweet and sour pork. Bbq lost. I probably should have tried on the nice shirt I last wore 2 years ago before I packed it, but maybe the bodyshirt trend will come back.
After the sweet and sour experience (the food, not the ABC TV show from way back that I believe starred David Reyne (I have the album)), it was back to the cabin to get into my theatre watching clothes (shorts and t-shirt).
Tonight's show was an amazing acrobatic duo with the 2 of them putting to shame my Les Mills Pilates efforts from the trip so far. Their strength and flexibility was insane. Mystery solved. I think I now know the identity of the people in the gym doing head and hand stands over the last week.
